Welcome to The Glassmaker’s Café
IN BROCKWELL PARK
The rooms are ready, and we can’t wait to serve you in our lovely and inviting space.
Built in the early 1800s by regency chandelier-maker John Blades, Brockwell Hall is a light-filled architectural gem at the centre of the park—and we’re thrilled to be bringing it back to life with great coffee, fresh food, and a warm welcome.
At Roots&Berries, we’re creating a café for everyone—somewhere to pause, meet, refuel and enjoy, whether you’re a local or just passing through.
Follow us @theglassmakerscafé for updates.
We can’t wait to see you.
Autumn/Winter Menu Coming Soon
Food & Drink
There’s something for every taste, even your four legged friend!
We serve delicious all-day food from our counter, including fresh-filled focaccias, chef-made soups, quiches and seasonal specials.
For something more special, see our Afternoon Tea section below. Every booking includes a £2 donation to the Friends of Brockwell Park, helping to preserve and enhance this beautiful space. Thank you for your support.
Afternoon Tea on the Common
FROM £29pp*
Thoughtfully prepared by our chefs and bakers, our seasonal Afternoon Tea brings together warm scones, delicate savouries and beautifully crafted little cakes—all served on a classic tiered stand, with a selection of loose leaf teas from around the world.
†Free glass of Prosecco for Mother’s Day on 15th March for any adult ordering Afternoon Tea.
*Includes a £2 donation to the wonderful Friends of Wandsworth Common who help ensure this beautiful green space is so well cared for all to enjoy.
Kids Afternoon Tea now available!
Our little ones haven’t been left out! Our Kids Afternoon Tea comes in two options: Tots (recommended up to 7yrs) at £9 per child, or Junior (recommended 7-12yrs) at £15 per child. Both are filled with kid-sized favourites, from crustless sandwiches and artisan buns (Junior menu) to our very cute hand-iced hedgehog and duck biscuits.
There is a colouring-in sheet to keep little hands busy, plus a complimentary bag of duck food for a post-tea walk in the park* — it’s much better for our feathered friends than bread! And the proceeds from every bag help support the wonderful local groups who care for the green spaces around our cafés.
Just like our Adult Afternoon Tea, you can pick from Classic or Garden (vegetarian) menus for each child.
To order simply select the relevant Kids Afternoon Tea in the drop-down when purchasing an Adult Afternoon Tea. Alternatively, contact Carlotta directly for bookings of more than 6 kids or if you want to only book kids teas alone. Email enquiries@rootsandberries.co.uk
*Excludes The Rookery Café on Streatham Common
